@Kelly Byrd There was a theory playing around in my mind before when I considered expansion in NV because of a potential project.

I also developed a wish list as to the characteristics of the name - have meaning for me, have meaning for my renters, end in "properties", it could not be confused with other areas or businesses, it could not be tied to my current location (Denver), it needed to allow for expansion and change and a few more.

Michael, thanks for the reply, I'll look into the expanse tracking and continue with QuickBooks for basics.

I was hoping to pick up lower cost condos / townhomes as single family homes around here are a bit pricey.So far, I've read books, blogs and just recently began listening to BiggerPockets podcasts (which is what brought me here to this expansive resource!).  

Do you live in an area that is growing and has limited land expansion access? 

Im consider to buy web mentoring from Tom Btatz for $7000 can any tell me if have experience with this program.I m investing in multifamily and looking for expansion and start considering partnership with other investors. 

With the expansions of the 215 and making it a much easier drive to the West side of the valley, the new 95/215 on and off ramps, and the new development across the 215 at Revere will all help keep the NW corner of NLV a hidden gem.The "stigma" is all in name, or for people that are scared to drive up MLK until the name changes a few times!  

The 315,000-square-foot space in Mission Bay adds to OpenAI’s nearly 1 million square feet of leased space across the city, including properties subleased from Uber last year.As one of the largest AI firms in the world, OpenAI’s expansion is helping revitalize San Francisco’s struggling office market.

If both of those situations are "pre-existing" or what some people called "grandfathered", they are usually allowed to remain without any further expansion, like adding more units etc.However, if the second building or the 3rd unit were constructed without a building permit, all bets are off and an "unpermitted" unit or use may not be allowed to continue in many jurisdictions.Both the question of pre-existing and permitted uses should be asked of the city zoning department.And you may also find that insurance and lenders are not willing to work with sometimes either of these situations.We have successfully gotten variances here in PA, but the procedures are governed by state law and local ordinances. 

I am ramping up marketing, I am streamlining my processes, and am looking to expansion once I have all of my processes in place. 2015 is going to be amazing!!!
